An exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability Coefficient showed that democracy and multicultural education attitude scale is made up of five sub-dimensions (sub-scales) and it is a reliable and valid for attitude scale. Reliability and validity for concept map was supported by a group of experts who work in multicultural education field to revise a new concept map. In addition, in the pilot scheme the concepts “Universal Values”, “Human Rights” and “Showing Respect to Differences” were in more than one headings. Thus, regulations were made to increase validity and reliability.
